The themed challenge this month for an online photo contest is: "Fluid Motion".
Everyone seems to be doing the expected (waterfalls and the like), but I wanted to do something a little more unexpected.

Help me decide which of these to enter... or if I need to go back to the drawing board.

You have many thanks in advance :)

Number 3 is my favorite but like the idea of 2 and the colors of 1.

I would go with #3, it's different, has great abstract design, & beautiful color. The reflected light source (sun or flash?) is a bit strong for my taste but that might just be me. Good luck in the contest.

If one is to be very literal as to "fluid motion" I would go with #2 as it appears to be water in motion. I like all three and have no further insight then that - for wahtever that was not worth.

Thanks, folks!

In the middle photograph (especially; I was trying like crazy to capture individual bubbles as they flowed up to the top of the aquarium, but have no idea how to go about it.
I thought "panning"... but there is precious little space to follow the bubbles and as fast as they're moving in that short space and time frame, I'm not sure this camera could have achieved that anyway.

The dragon photo shows the motion of the bubbles very nicely, while keeping the dragon clear... so I guess I should be happy with it.

The colors photo is taken looking down into the aquarium as the bubbles come up! It was a "happy accident"... so much so... I took others and love the abstract effect.

Still deciding which to send... looking like #2 so far...

Yeah... I tried to tone that down a bit, but lost some of the pop in the colors elsewhere when I did. I decided it's not that big of a distraction to make it worth that loss, so chose to save it.

Thanks for the vote!

I cast my vote for #3. It gets the literal "fluid" as well as the more suggested meanings. Nice job.
